How to Set Per-Item Despawn Times

Understanding Item Value Rules

The mod automatically generates a configuration file containing an entry for every item name in the game. This system allows you to override the global timer for individual items using three specific value types:

• -1: The item follows the global despawn timer.
• 0: The item will never despawn, remaining in the world indefinitely.
• Any positive number: A custom despawn duration measured in ticks (up to 72,000 ticks).

Customizing Individual Lifespans

You can tailor item persistence to match your needs, such as ensuring rare gear never disappears while letting clutter clear out rapidly.

1. Open the mod's generated configuration file in a text editor.

2. Scroll or search through the list to find the specific item name you want to adjust.

3. Replace the assigned number with your chosen value:

• Set to 0 if you want that specific item to persist on the ground forever.
• Enter a positive tick count (such as 12000) for a custom timer.
• Keep or reset the value to -1 if you want it governed by the global timer.

4. Save the document.

5. Apply your changes in-game by entering /cdt reload into the chat.
